CHAPTER XIV ' TIT AHY leaned against the sand' bag barricade for rapport '.' Vincent Gregg and CrU Mar- chetta passed down the steps of the lodging house and on beyond the tobacconist's ahop, Joined the " throngi of Trafalgar Square. Their attitude of Intimacy had been heightened by one of merrl ment, aome pleasantry they alone 1 or wnaiever u was, icemra iu anui a door between them and Mary urrou. Now, even it ahe could have nounced her pride. If the could have faced her fiance with her beauty disfigured from the blow . n the Moravia, she could never have matched Vincent's pace. Things had gone too far ahead while she lay in the hospital. And It ever the adage, "three'e , crowd, was applicable, it was now. Her loneliness seemed almost . niore than she could bear. The ', desolation of her heart had ( stunned her. She had not known she could feel so cut off from any ": cent at that minute. . JJACK to Charing Cross she went as the bright winter day be came overcast The silver balloon barrage melted itno gray clouds as visibility lessened. A light rain whipped her drawn face. The coat that Lady Ponce-Townsend had provided was all too thin for this cold, wet wind. Her feet - dragged along the streets and up the stairs to the rooms In Soho Square. And there was no cheery fire blazing in the grate as there had been yester day. Without stopping to remove her wet coat she sat down at the writing table. Without even think ing what she wrote, the words lormed; Dear Dr. Lenoxt - Tne offer of marriage' you Blade last night overwhelmed me with Its generosity. While I feel reluctant to allow you to sacrifice yourself for me, never theless, if you are still of the same mind, X shall be proud to : (hare your name. - And if you have reconsidered and wish to withdraw the offer, please be lieve I understand. . -Sincerely, Anna Winters. I She sealed the letter hurriedly. found a stamp and rushed out to post It before she might change cter mino. rJHE next night brought Gilbert Lenox to Soho Square. "' The sight of him renewed her courage. . "I don't think you will regret this decision," he said seriously. "It Isn't that I will ever bother rou. Tour "ersonal Ufa will be as tree as it always has been." Mary nodded. That was one of the reasons she had held back. Re could give her so much and she could give him nothing in re turn. "You o have to ear 1 wffl1 In the registry and it will be all over. It's quite simple to get mar ried In wartime; everything Is easily arranged. I made inquiries today," he went on. "I will have time oft on Saturday afternoon. J think it would be best to have the ceremony then, if you aeree. Then, it I have to go to France next week, everything will have seen xaxen care of." "It isn't as if he weren't one of the most eligible men In Lon- aon," Mary told herself. "Hand. . , . . l. ui.j aim dependable as the Bank of Eng land. Why is it that men like Gil bert Lenox are always second cnoices to the Vincent Green?" But to love Vincent had been her destiny and to escape his love she could not Nor would she ever nop loving Vincent And was she being fair to Vincent? After all, he thought her dead. Was it not unjust to expect that he would cut himself off from all the things of life because of her memory? . Gilbert's voice brought her back to the immediate problem. ' "You will want to get yourself some gay clotnes to be married to," he was saying. He tendered 10-pound note. "Some new clothes will make you feel better. XT j I. . . wn g mamea every day, ruu luigw. "How exactly like him!" she re newed; as she murmured her uianits. -Thoughtful, above all." She had not Included that in the swift catalog of his qualities. When she spoke It was hard to express the fullness of her grati tude. "You are much, much too good, rou deserve the finest wife in the world." "I'm not complaining about the wife Tm going to get" he said quietly. "Even if she Is to be wife in name only." e fTHE next day Mary went shop- ping to nearby Selfridges, the American department store In Ox- lord street She was surprised to find she could care again about lines and materials, colors and treatments. "Blue's my best color," she de cided. "Blue It will be." The right shade would accentuate the color of her eyes that the accident on the Moravia, for aU its malevo lence, had not been able to harm. She was pleased with royal blue frock with Jaunty pleats and close-fitting bodice. And it even had a jacket that would do away with the shroud-like black coat Lady Ponce-Townsend had given her. The outfit even in winter, seemed to promise spring. A dose-fitting toque of the same color had a smartness that was almost American. And Its finger tip veil would cast merciful un certainty over the marred side of her face. , A gold clip, new gloves, hose and oxfords of London tan gave Mary an exhilaration ahe had not felt in months. But all the time she busied her self with these outward details, she battled with her conscience, too. On the marriage records she must give the name of Anna Win ters. Hitherto her masquerade had hurt no one. Would it be wrong to take this legal step without re vealing her own Identity? In the end, she had her answer. This ceremony waa to be an im personal contract not a marriage at all. It she betrayed her real identity now she would be sent back to America. Some day she would make everything clear to Gilbert Lenox. SATURDAY found Dr. Lenox and his bride-to-be en route to the registry. "Cheer up, little sober sides," Gilbert said, looking at her kindly as the taxi bounced over the cob bles. "There isn't a thing to worry about From now on, everything will be all right!" In the bright winter sunlight, Mary found herself relaxing under the doctor's thoroughly competent guidance. He'd saved her life when she had been at death's door and now he was determined on further salvage of the pitiful thine he'd saved. I Somehow, the shock of seeing Vincent Gregg with Carle Mar chetta no longer seemed so ap palling. The blight of loneliness, terrifying and chilling, seemed to lessen when she was with Gilbert When the clerk in the registry asked if she, Anna Winters, took tills man, Gilbert Lenox, for her lawfully wedded husband, she hesitated only a second. Then her voice, which had been so rnuflled. spoke up clearly "I do!" (To Be Continued) ' OUT OUR WAY BY J. R.
